Our Visit at SAMS

We went to SAMS yesterday in Knoxville because my wife was getting her port flushed and we needed to stock up on some items.  We usually get our protein drinks there, along with our Keurig coffee pods, Olive Oil, Toilet Paper, Paper Towels, Salmon and Cod, Salad Dressings, and a variety of other items.  What we save pays for the annual membership.

We are careful what we purchase there because sometimes, it is cheaper to buy the item at Walmart rather than SAMS which is Walmart's warehouse.  In other words, we just don't buy because it is available and we think that it might be cheaper.

While we are there, believe it or not, we get a SAMS hotdog (all beef) and a large drink for $1.40 which is an incredible price.  When we go to Myrtle Beach next week, we are going to stop by SAMS down there just for a cheap dinner.

SAMS sells gasoline as well but we have not yet taken the time to get gas there.  It is supposedly cheaper than other places in Knoxville.

If we are lucky, there will be vendors giving away free samples...  although, that usually only happens on the weekends.  We can go there on the weekends, fight the traffic for parking and all the people inside, and eat enough from the vendors not to feel hungry at all when we leave.

We have purchased clothes at SAMS from time to time, cell phone and computer equipment that was on sale but those items, at least the computer stuff should really be purchased at Best Buy where we have GEEK SQUAD protection.

SAMS is a nice diversion from the normal and one can spend a good 60-90 minutes in there just looking around and taking time to price the items.  Oftentimes, you will find great deals.

I have been told that COSTCO is very similar to SAMS and there are several people we know who have memberships at both places, but one is enough for us.
